Hi everyone!

I sent in all my paperwork on February 3rd, 2017, papers were delivered to USCIS Feb 7th, and I received the notifications on the mail that USCIS received everything on February 15th, they cashed my checks the following day. It is now almost a month later and I have not received any letters with an appointment for biometrics. I am getting a little antsy since I havent been working for like 2 and a half months already and I want to get my work permit already! How long did it take you guys to receive your appointment and your work permit? Should I call USCIS?

 

Thanks!

Hello ! Dont feel too stressed out.  We filed for AOS from a k1 on 1/17.  Received on 1/18.  NOA date of 1/24. Biometrics on 2/13 and last update was 2/17.   I was checking other cases on the USCIS phone app and i see there were tons sent to them in January.  They are more than likely backed up.  If you didnt download the uscis phone app I suggest you do it.   Also theres a group of us over on Facebook.
